The source distribution should include the file generic-site.lisp.
It's meant as a generic site-init.lisp file, but you can hack it up to
be your personal init.  At the end is an example of how you can set up
the target search list to find your sources, if you place them near
the same directory as bin/lisp.  I use this.

You can look at the :env argument to run-program or modify the "path:"
search list with something like:

(push (default-directory) (search-list "path:"))

The "path:" search list basically becomes the PATH envvar. I think.

I didn't try the :env arg to run-program, so I'm not sure what to do
there, but maybe something like

:env (list :path "<typical-shell-PATH-string>"

will work.  (The docstring for that needs to be improved.)
